Default Norm, you can re-look this up this thread using the "search" function

at the top of the main discussion board page. Just look for Gun Safe and you will find it. This forum's software archives all posts unless Dok deletes them intentionally for a Forum Decorum Infraction...


You can also hang pistols on steel dowling just undersize from the barrel bore. Just insert them in the backboard of the safe at an angle that provides good retention when the pistol is suspended... You can hang a lot of pistols up this way in a small space... especially if they all all the same type (e.g. Lugers). I don't recommend any other type of dowling except steel because other types of metals may cause a chemical reaction with the barrel and wood might hold moisture causing pitting in the barrel if you don't keep your safe dry enough. I can't say that I would trust plastic to be durable enough and they might break with time and stress...
